Chapter 235 Preparations before retreat and breakthrough
Zhao Ya quickly walked closer, picked up one of the boxes and opened it. Inside was a pure and flawless bead, which was emitting a soft light.
This light swayed slightly, as if it was filled with liquid.
Under the shining of the light, Zhao Ya felt that his eyebrows were itchy.
At this time, Mo Qi introduced: "The one you took is the Devil's Bead. I used many methods to completely purify the evil spirit contained in it. If you use it to break through the five realms, it can greatly enhance your ability to Mental perception."
As he spoke, Mo Qi opened another box and said, "This is the Mandrill Pearl. You can feel the difference between the two."
Zhao Ya took it and took a look. The bead was obviously red, and the brilliance it emitted was much more domineering. The Qi and blood in Zhao Ya's body were stirred, and even the deepest bone marrow became restless.
"Actually, it's not difficult to refine these two beast beads. What's difficult is how to reconcile the attribute conflicts between the two so that they can be used for you to break through the realm at the same time. For this reason, I tried all kinds of ways and racked my brains. It's considered complete." Mo Qi said proudly.
Zhao Ya put the two boxes back together, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you very much, but I wonder when I can use these two broken mirrors to induce a breakthrough?"
"You can do it at any time, provided you are ready?" Mo Qi asked.
Zhao Ya nodded, "The turbid and evil energy in the bone marrow has almost been discharged, and we only need one final kick to break through."
Mo Qi didn't believe it.
After all, the last time I saw Zhao Ya, he was far from a breakthrough.
But when he took a closer look, Mo Qi couldn't help but trembled all over, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
In just over half a month, Zhao Ya was actually on the verge of a breakthrough.
"Awesome, but I suggest you choose a secluded place to retreat when you break through, because the whole process may take two to three days or even longer. If you are disturbed by others, all your efforts may be wasted," Mo Qi said.
Zhao Ya nodded, "I understand. I'll leave these two broken mirror guides with you first. I'll take care of the things at hand and start retreating tonight."
Mo Qi has been refining Po Jing Yin for such a long time and has a lot of experience. It should be the best choice to retreat to him to break through the realm.
"No problem, but are you sure you want to start tonight? In fact, you don't have to be in such a hurry. It's not too late to retreat after everything is ready." Mo Qi advised.
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
Jingzhao Mansion.
As the nominally highest security agency in Yandu City, this place is actually very dilapidated.
The two stone lions symbolizing majesty in front of the door are rusty, and the fangs in one of their mouths have been broken, making it even more decadent.
Seeing this scene, Shang Jingchuan couldn't help but frown.
Although he expected that the situation in Jingzhao Mansion would not be very good, he did not expect that it would fall to this level.
It's no wonder that most officials looked like they were mourning for their heirs when they heard that they were going to be appointed as the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Not to mention taking the blame, not many people are willing to come based on this dilapidated appearance.
If it had been before, Shang Jingchuan would have been stunned, but now he just took a deep breath and walked inside.
No one stopped me, not even a person standing guard in front of the door.
He walked into the courtyard grandly like this, but saw that the huge courtyard was empty, and weeds grew wildly from the cracks in the bricks, making it even more desolate.
Shang Jingchuan patiently continued walking in, and finally heard voices in front of the lobby.
"Big, big, big, hahahaha, I won, give me money, give me money!"
With the sound of the dice crashing, the room became noisy.
Shang Jingchuan stepped into it and saw a group of people wearing yamen uniforms or police officers gathering around to gamble.
In broad daylight, there is still open gambling in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, which shows how decadent the atmosphere has become.
No one paid attention to Shang Jingchuan at first. It wasn't until he coughed several times that anyone turned to look.
Seeing that he was dressed in official uniform and had an extraordinary bearing, these government officials did not dare to gamble anymore and hurriedly dispersed. Then someone clasped his fists and said, "My lord, what are you doing here?"
"You are gambling openly like this, and your supervisor doesn't care about it?"
"Look what you said, who doesn't know that our Jingzhao Mansion is a big pit? Apart from us incompetent government officials, who would be willing to jump into it, so we haven't had a supervisor here for a long time. "
"Oh? What's your name?" Shang Jingchuan became interested.
"For your information, my name is He Zheng."
"He Zheng, haha, that's a good name!" Shang Jingchuan pointed to the gambling table.
"Carry it out. This is the lobby. How would it be appropriate to have a gambling table?"
"Yes, yes, we will carry it out right away. May I ask you..."
"My name is Shang Jingchuan, the newly appointed governor of Jingzhao, and your immediate boss."
As soon as these words came out, the gang of government officials were naturally shocked and fell to their knees in a hurry.
He Zheng kowtowed repeatedly.
"I didn't know it was the Lord who came. I deserve death."
"Get up, clean up the lobby first, and then I have a few questions to ask you."
"yes!"
Everyone tidied up the hall in a hurry. Shang Jingchuan sat on the main seat and asked.
"I think you are the only ones who catch the government officials. Where is the chief catcher in the mansion?"
These people looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.
Finally, it was He Zheng who spoke: "Sir, we haven't seen Mr. Liu for a long time. I heard that he has been busy with his own affairs outside."
Shang Jingchuan almost laughed in anger, but he did not get angry because he knew that it was normal for discipline to be neglected after such a long time without a supervisor. After all, this was human nature and no one could stop it.
"Go and invite Mr. Liu over personally. The rest of you will first pull out the grass in the yard and clean the door."
"yes!"
Shang Jingchuan rubbed his forehead as he looked at the gang of government officials who were getting busy under him.
It seems that the task is far more difficult than I imagined.
With these subordinates who have no fighting spirit at all, let alone the Sihai Gang, they probably won't be able to deal with even a gang of gangsters.
While he was thinking about it, the person who went to inform Mr. Liu came back.
"Replying to your lord, Capt. Liu said that he drank too much today and was too drunk to drink. He really can't see people. He will wait until early tomorrow morning to see him again."
Shang Jingchuan knew clearly that these were all excuses, and Liu Qi probably wanted to give himself a shot in the arm in this way.
But he couldn't have an attack at this time, so he just smiled and nodded, "This is understandable, so let's wait until tomorrow."
"Come here, bring all the files that have been accumulated over time. I want to take stock of them first."
Hearing these words, these government officials were a little surprised.
It's not that the supervisor has never been here before, but when these people came and saw this dilapidated government office, everyone's face looked like their dead mother. Not to mention reading the files, they were not even willing to stay for a while. They all found an excuse and ran away.
This adult seems to be a little different today.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and move the file for your Excellency?" He Zheng reacted quickly and shouted quickly.
Soon, several people came into the lobby carrying files weighing hundreds of kilograms.
The dust on some of these files is half an inch thick, and even the paper has become moldy. It can be seen that no one has turned it over since it was rolled.
Shang Jingchuan didn't mind getting dirty either, so he flipped through the books one by one.
The people below were whispering.
"I think this gentleman is different from the others. He actually read the file. Is he really planning to make some achievements?"
"Don't be stupid, I'm probably just pretending. I see that this gentleman is quite old this year, and he was sent to our place, so he is probably a loser."
"Okay, please stop saying a few words. If this adult hears it, you will suffer no good consequences."
This He Zheng stopped everyone and looked back, feeling puzzled in his heart.
What on earth does this lord intend to do?
While Shang Jingchuan was reading the files in Jingzhao Mansion, King Qi Yan Sifu was feeding birds in the Mansion of Prince Qi.
Kneeling behind him was a man who was telling what was going on in Yandu City today.
Soon, this person talked about Shang Jingchuan.
"Your Majesty, Shang Jingchuan, who has been missing for several days, suddenly appeared in Yongyangfang, and also killed people from the Sihai Gang. I heard that Xiong Kun, the sea master of Qinghai from the Sihai Gang, has brought people over to check."
"Oh? Does Shang Jingchuan have such courage?" Yan Sifu stopped the bird-teasing stick in his hand and asked a little strangely.
"It was the Zhao Ya next to him who killed him, and after he came back, Shang Jingchuan went to Jingzhao Mansion again and took up the post of governor of Jingzhao Mansion."
"Zhao Ya...hum!" A chill flashed in Yan Sifu's eyes.
He naturally knew about this Zhao Ya. His daughter was forced to kneel in the street by him, and now she has become the laughing stock of the whole city.
He originally thought that if this Shang Jingchuan had any brains, he would not take up the post.
Unexpectedly, he not only came, but also killed people from the Sihai Gang.
This caused hatred from two sides at once.
"I understand. I remember there was a policeman named Liu Qi in Jingzhao Mansion. Call him over. I have something to tell him."
"yes!"
…………
Yongyangfang, second floor of the tavern.
Xiong Kun looked at the corpses on the ground with a solemn expression.
Bai Wang kept crying on the side.
"Haizhu, I have always been respectful to you. Now that he has died so miserably, you have to make the decision for him!"
Xiong Kun, who was looking down at the wounds on the corpse, had a look of impatience on his face, "Stop fucking crying, my head is getting big from crying."
Bai Wang's crying stopped suddenly.
At the same time, Xiong Kun raised his head and looked at the tavern owner who was shaking like chaff.
"What did this man say?"
"He...he said that he is the new governor of Jingzhao. If you want revenge, go find him."
"Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture..."
This familiar title made Xiong Kun feel a little confused.
I remember a long time ago, when Xiong Kun first entered the capital, the situation had not yet collapsed and the court still maintained its dignity.
At that time, the governor of Jingzhao held a first-class official position with real power. Especially those in gangs like them were as afraid of cats as mice.
But later, with the death of the old emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne, the situation gradually began to collapse, and the Jingzhao Prefecture Yin also changed from a formidable role to being dispensable.
Xiong Kun almost forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard this familiar name again today, and Xiong Kun naturally felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"What's his name?"
"He said his name is Shang Jingchuan!"
"Shang Jingchuan, go check it out!"
For the Sihai Gang, this information is not difficult to find.
Soon, Shang Jingchuan's information, including Zhao Ya's information, appeared in Xiong Kun's hands.
Xiong Kun only took one look and concluded that it must be Zhao Ya who committed the murder.
Because from the wounds on these corpses, he could see the horror of the knife skills of those who did it.
Reminiscent of the fact that Zhao Ya recently had a head-to-head fight with Yan Xizhao, and then had a draw with Wang Tiancheng of the Golden Sword Academy.
Xiong Kun felt his scalp was numb for a moment.
He was absolutely unwilling to offend such a person.
But he couldn't just say that he didn't care, because this Bai San really showed a lot of filial piety to him.
If you really don't care, it will easily break the hearts of Bai Wang and these people.
So he pondered for a while and then said: "Let's bury the bodies of Bai San and others first. We will discuss it later when we go back."
"Then what should we do with this tavern? Are we going to...?" Bai Wang asked murderously, making a beheading gesture.
The tavern owner almost peed his pants when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Kun shook his head and said, "Don't make matters worse. This matter has nothing to do with them. Let's deal with Shang Jingchuan first."
"All right!"
The Lord of the Sea had spoken, and Bai Wang had to listen.
After collecting the bodies, they left Yongyangfang and headed towards Sihai Tower.
Xiong Kun didn't plan to deal with Shang Jingchuan alone.
In his opinion, since Shang Jingchuan has become the governor of Jingzhao, he is targeting the entire Sihai Gang.
I must tell the boss and others the news as soon as possible.
It's best to find a way for Lang Songbai to take the lead in dealing with Zhao Ya.
Right, that is it!
Last time, I wanted to use the Yaksha Mask Man to kill someone and deal with Lang Songbai. Unexpectedly, the Yaksha Mask Man never showed up again, so the matter was shelved.
Now that he has another opportunity, Xiong Kun will naturally not let it go.
He planned to go to Sheng Lianhua to discuss how to let Lang Songbai be the leader.
At the same time, in the Golden Sword Courtyard.
Zhao Ya met Wang Tiancheng.
After meeting, Zhao Ya said straight to the point: "I would like to ask Senior Brother Wang to do me a favor."
"What's the matter? Junior Brother Zhao, it's okay to talk about it."
"I'm preparing to break through the five realms in seclusion, but I can't worry about my home, so I asked Senior Brother Wang to help me take care of it in the past few days. I will thank you deeply after I come out of seclusion."
What Zhao Ya said was very sincere.
In fact, from the moment he planned to retreat, Zhao Ya thought of Wang Tiancheng.
In the huge city of Yandu, Zhao Ya only has the best relationship with Wang Tiancheng, so it is not too much to make this request.
Wang Tiancheng was also surprised after hearing this.
"Are you going to break through the fifth realm so soon?"
"Yes, the time was never ripe before, so I kept suppressing it. Now that my sword skills have been broken through, the time is ripe. It's time to advance to the fifth realm."
"Okay, I agree to this matter." Wang Tiancheng agreed without hesitation.
Zhao Ya cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and solemnly thanked him: "Thank you very much!"
"You're welcome. This is the duty of being friends. If you don't mind, you can come to our Golden Sword Academy to break the barrier. Our Golden Sword Academy will definitely protect you."
